Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The levels-of-processing theory posits that the more deeply information is processed, the more likely it is to be remembered, so a memory researcher who believes in this theory would likely agree with statement A. The theory suggests that information processed at a deeper level, such as semantic processing (processing for meaning), is more likely to be remembered than information processed at a more superficial level, such as structural processing (processing for physical features).
